The characters and the Jaipur, India setting of The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi are vibrant. They do not match the history of the time, but, perhaps, the history is not relevant as the book is more narrowly focused on the role of women and on the story of one woman in particular. The plot itself is not unexpected, but the women of the story bring it to life. A strong debut. I look forward to reading more from Alka Joshi.
